    This one is Udaloy-class Admiral Chabanenko anti-submarine vessel 650, Peter the Great 099 is too big to enter the port

    I would rather say that the port is too small

    I'm glad for venezuelians, they have worlds best cruiser ever built - Petter the Great parked outside port for starring at it.

    BTW, any news on other Kirov class ships being repairing/modernizing/operational?

    hey GarryB did u see the last rendition of PakFA from Paralay?Otaku posted it on Keypub and it seems to have all tail movings surfaces.it looks a lot like YF-23
    The Tu-160 has the same all moving vertical tail surface and it is the only other Russian aircraft that had stealth features built in to the original design.

    Nahimov is being upgraded and repaired, the other two are apparently nothing more but a spare part source.

    in Russian, but at the end it said that Russian and Venesuela subs will participate in manuevers, so it's fair to presume that few Russian subs were shadowing battle group.

    Default Russia celebrates Marines Day


    Marine units serve with all elements of the Russian Navy, namely, its Northern, Pacific, Baltic and Black Sea Fleets and Caspian Flotilla. On November 27, Russia celebrates Marines Day, instituted by the Russian Navy’s Commander on November 19, 1995 in commemoration of Emperor Peter the Great’s 1705 decree on establishing a “sea soldiers regiment.”

    They are currently equipped with automatic small firearms, tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery pieces, aircraft, anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons

    To Russian members and other fellas, i have 2 questions:
    1.Is the Russian marine as big as its US counterpart?
    2.Why isn't the Russian marine as popular as the VDV or Spetsnaz.To be more clear here,i've never heard of these guys until recently.Thanx.Afro.

    Don't forget USMC is a independent branch while Russian is not. Marines
    a) not all of them are first echelon troops, like VDV.
    b) cannot be in use in every conflict, like spetsnaz.
